Crowfield, Dymock, Glos. - Will be at Dymock for a month or two, hoping to do some work. He approves the "Annual" [a follow-up to Trevelyan's publication of 1917?] though Marsh is bringing out a "G.P." ["Georgian Poetry"] at Christmas and they might clash. He himself wants to publish in book form in the autumn; "Empedocles" would do well for the "Annual", though it is not yet finished. Delighted to hear Trevelyan is in England; he should stay if he can. Saw Trevelyan's brother George the other day. A postscript says that the two books ought not to clash if Trevelyan takes care.

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Agrees with Robert's view of Euripides, although he reads so much of him; discusses Macaulay's view of the "Iphigenia in Tauris". Has just finished [Aristophanes's] "Batrachoi" ["The Frogs"] with 'intense delight'. Has finished the 'American part' of his book [a volume of "The American Revolution"] and has one concluding chapter left to write. Will send Bessy a hare if he can get one. Would like to make [Goldsworthy Lowes] Dickinson a 'Special Commissioner of Road Traffic'].

The Well Farm, Warlingham, Surrey - Congratulates Frazer.

Brandon Street, Edinburgh - Is concerned to hear about Sir James' eyes; they will subscribe to five copies of the bibliography; they made an error sending revised proofs of 'Fear of the Dead' accompanied by the corrected slips, communicated this to Macmillan to put it right; Macmillan was not to blame.

Downside Abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, near Bath.—Asks him to borrow two articles by [Morris W.] Croll from the [Cambridge] University Library. Encloses particulars of a vacancy. Has just met Passarin d’Entrèves, the new Professor of Italian Studies at Oxford. There seem to be a number of Catholic dons there concerned with that subject now. Asks who got the chair at Cambridge.

Dunford House. - He and his wife send a 'thousand thanks' for the 'delightful Christmas card' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"]: Trevelyan and Gilbert Murray are 'transubstantiating Menander', whom he only knew before through 'his dimidiated Terence'.

Thanks his mother for her letter. Thinks Georgie has nearly recovered from his cold. Has received a letter from 'Grandpapa Philips', and will write to him today. There was meant to have been a [cricket] match with Bracknell last Thursday but it rained so they did not come; it also rained on Friday, so the match will now be next Monday. Robert is in the eleven, at square leg. Has not got a cover for his bat, but can 'easily' get one by sending the measurements. Does not think Georgie wants any paper, as Robert 'can rule the un-ruled paper' for him; Robert would like a few stamps, as he has not got many. Hopes 'Papa is nearly well, and will be able to come'.

Lockhart] does not put his review of RJ in the same edition of the Quarterly Journal as his one on Herschel ['Modern Science: Inductive Philosophy', Quarterly Review 45, 1831].
